Handel's success with Italian-style opera in London had passed its initial peak by 1729. Lotario - a tale of revenge and heroism based on events in the life of Holy Roman Empress Adelaide of Italy - was the first of a new series of works intended to revive interest and challenge society's new 'vile taste' for satire and light entertainment. It displays his renowned talent for writing convincing drama with melodically rich and emotionally charged arias.
